Slugger Posted March 28, 2022 #1 Posted March 28, 2022 I joined this group a couple weeks ago. I have never built a wood ship model. I wish I would have found this group earlier. It has helped in several cases. I look forward to learning and hopefully contributing. Thanks for allowing me to be a member. Tomasz B, mtaylor, AlleyCat and 6 others 9
